APPENDICES
A song consists of some tenses (example).
THIS LOVE
(sung by Maroon 5)
I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes,
(Nor) The chaos that controlled my
mind.
(She) Whispered 'goodbye' and she got
on a plane;
Never to return again,
But always in my heart
<>()<>
This love has taken its toll on me;
She said 'goodbye' too many times
before
And her heart is breaking in front of
me.
I have no choice 'cause I
Won't say 'goodbye' anymore.
<>()<>
I tried my best to feed her appetite,
Keep her coming every night.
(It was) So hard to keep her
satisfied;
(She) Kept playing love like it was
just a game,
Pretending to feel the same,
Then turn around and leave again.
<>()<>
This love has taken its toll on me;
She said 'goodbye' too many times
before
And her heart is breaking in front of
me.
I have no choice, 'cause
I won't say 'goodbye' anymore.
<>()<>
I'll fix these broken things;
(I'll) Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright.
My pressure on your hips,
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you,
'Cause I know that's what you want me
to do.
